Roger Wilson: From Porky's Star To... Where Is He Now?
Ever wondered what happened to that actor from those raunchy comedies we all secretly watched in the 80s? Roger Wilson carved a unique niche in Hollywood, not just as an actor but as a multifaceted creative force.
While many remember him for his role as Mickey in the "Porky's" franchise, there's much more to Wilson's story than meets the eye. Born on October 8, 1956, in New Orleans, Louisiana, his journey has taken him from the silver screen to behind-the-scenes work as a screenwriter, and even into the world of restaurant ownership. His early life, marked by a privileged upbringing his father was president of the offshore engineering and construction company McDermott laid the foundation for a diverse and engaging career. Wilson's foray into acting wasn't an overnight sensation; he honed his skills with television roles, including a stint on "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers," before landing the part that would define a significant portion of his public image. He graduated from Woodbury Forest School alongside Marvin Bush, brother of George W. Bush, a connection that speaks to his background and social circles. While "Porky's" launched him into the spotlight, Wilson continued to explore different avenues in the entertainment industry, displaying a creative restlessness that extended beyond acting.
